I count myself lucky to have located Dr. Burleson because he is truly amazing. He did a first surgery on my lower back two years ago. Excellent results I couldn’t be happier.
I would go no where other than the Hughston clinic Dr. Burleson is great
Dr Burleson is terrific is so many ways.He knows what he's doing; He doesn't make you feel rushed; he apologizes if you have to wait a bit; he listens; he doesn't push surgery or pharmaceuticals if there are other options and he's witty. Great smart doctor.
